Initial analysis

The property at 1024-1026 Kirkham Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood. Built in 1947 and currently owned by the Helen Ya-li Hwang Trust, this duplex-style building has had minimal permit activity, with only two street space and sidewalk permits issued in May 2007, valuated at $0.00.

The building's recent history shows a pattern of abandoned vehicle reports between 2015 and 2017, with eight such incidents recorded in total, though all were resolved with the vehicles being gone upon inspection. The most recent incident related to parking was a driveway blocking complaint in July 2021, which was closed as invalid due to incomplete reporting requirements. Of particular note was a hazardous materials incident in June 2020 involving an oil spill, though city investigations determined it was caused by a broken-down vehicle rather than construction work. The frequency of abandoned vehicle reports, which were consistently resolved promptly, suggests recurring parking challenges in the immediate vicinity, though these incidents occurred several years ago and may not accurately reflect current conditions.

Risk rating

How 1024-1026 Kirkham St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 224 are predicted to be safer.
